Sarah McBride rarely centers her identity as a trans woman. Republicans do that for her. So when she steps to the microphone and talks about "21 years of unwavering homesickness," it means something. @mcbride.house.gov www.readtpa.com/p/watch-rep-...
Watch Rep. Sarah McBride's Powerful Statement on Republicans' Anti-Trans Obsession
The first openly trans member of Congress made a rare, personal appeal as the GOP wages an all-out assault on trans youth.

Every time I read something like this, I think about how when I was living as "a white millennial man," people would notice I was talented and just sort of hand me stuff without me advocating for myself. My current career -- where I am still successful! -- has been much, much harder to attain.
Guys, victimhood culture is alpha now

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

This should have come out on Monday, but it came out today because it's the first day this week I felt like writing, to be honest.

It's a weekly thing I'm doing again after quitting it back in January. Check it out and subscribe while you are at it!

Old Eastern European guy comes into the garage my kid works at, where they’re discussing Christmas movies and someone said something about the Grinch.
Old Guy: “I do not know this ”Grinch”.
Kid’s boss shows Old Guy a picture of the Grinch on his phone.
Old Guy:”That is one nasty son-of-bitch, no?”

This was almost an "all food questions" edition, but we made it about half and half. Please enjoy finding out which Bible stories we would adapt in the manner of Aronofsky's Noah, though!

Tom Hollander - 📽️ Pride & Prejudice (Joe Wright, 2005)

Equaling or eclipsing David Bamber (in the miniseries) as the definitive portrayal of the famously dull and status-obsessed Mr Collins, Hollander became booked forevermore. He finds a way to make him creepy and annoying, but still sympathetic.

one thing i want to emphasize is these "illiberal" and "postliberal" authoritarians are just thieves and crooks! trump is thief. orban is a thief. putin is the biggest thief of them all.
wrote about the president’s flagrant and destructive corruption in a column that references street fighter, the simpsons, machiavelli, and a host of revolutionary-era americans (gift link)

Really difficult to overstate the fury one should feel that the GOP and institutions like the New York Times went all in on transphobia as some mortal threat to women and girls while covering up something like this.
When you read these Epstein emails, you start to understand why so many prominent conservatives are obsessed with checking the genitals of children. It's a big thing for them!

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far
